Robotics buff plans engineering career

Michael Samuel

Michael Samuel, a 16-year-old sophomore at Stafford High School, can be found running track or on the football field, but his passion lies in figuring out how things work. Being a member of the Robotics Club strikes a chord with Samuel, who enjoys school in general, but cites engineering as his favorite scholastic activity. Samuel has a heart for others, and it shows in how he chooses to spend his spare time: with his family, tutoring other students and helping the teaching staff at SHS.
